Why are you considering 457 whereas when you can lodged 190 or 489 based on your points and +ve skill assessments? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I would like to earn more, by all means 457 would have been the way to go since I can bill more but I do not work that way. Being a parent myself, I would advice you to opt for a permanent route as you don't want your visa status to be relying on your occupation where you don't know what can happen tomorrow. Moving to a new country is already daunting as it is, more so if you have kids in tow. Also, be mindful that 457 visa will soon be abolished (very soon) and will be replaced by a new one which would no longer be a pathway to migration. Do further research I must say. All the best!

Why do you say that the new TSS visa will no longer be a pathway to Permanent Residency? Registered Nurse is on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List. As such it will still be eligible for Permanent Residency through both the Direct Entry and Temporary Residence Transition streams of the Employer Nomination Scheme, post the replacement of the 457 in March this year.

Thanks for pointing out the typo. The would was supposed to be a could. Meaning at some point, changes are inevitable as we all know so it can be a pathway now but no assurance at all for the future.
